Saturday, July 4, 2009 -- 5 a.m.

Drier air is settling in over Central Florida, providing the area with a lower chance of rain than recent days. Limited rains are expected as the chance of rain goes down to 20 to 30 percent for today and tomorrow.

Rain will occur in the afternoon, and should clear in time for evening fireworks. It will be sunny and very hot today, with highs expected to be 95 and feeling like 102.

Lows tonight will fall to 75 under partly cloudy skies.

Sunday will see more of the same, with temperatures topping out at 94, with a 20 to 30 percent chance of rain. However, rains return big time on Monday, with 50 percent mentioned in the forecast.

That elevated chance of rain will remain through the beginning of the week.

In the tropics, all is quiet, with no storms expected in the next 48 hours.
